Storage Instructions
Store HOYO DE MONTERREY PALMAS EXTRA (25) in a well maintained humidor set to 65-70% relative humidity and a stable temperature of 68-70ºF (20-21ºC). Keep the cigars in their original cedar box inside the humidor when possible to preserve humidity equilibrium and protect the thin Cuban wrapper. Season and line the humidor with Spanish cedar or use a reliable humidity stabilizer and check the hygrometer regularly to ensure steady conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, rapid temperature changes, and storing in refrigerators or freezers which can dry or damage the leaves.
Care Tips
Handle HOYO DE MONTERREY PALMAS EXTRA (25) with clean dry hands and avoid squeezing the cigars to protect the delicate wrapper. Allow newly acquired cigars to acclimate in your humidor for at least two to four weeks before smoking for the best balance. For longer term development consider aging them for several months to a few years to gain added complexity depending on your taste. When preparing to smoke, use a sharp straight cut or a neat punch and gently toast the foot to light evenly and preserve the wrapper integrity. For travel use a small travel humidor or a sealed container with a humidity stabilizer to maintain conditions during transit.
